• Upcoming Talks:​​​​

• "The Emin Pasha Expedition: Exploring the last "blank space" in Darkest Africa" by Vincent Szilagyi - January 21, 2025​

  • Led by famed explorer Henry Morton Stanley, the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition was the final European exploratory expedition into Africa. What was supposed to be a quick humanitarian relief mission turned into a long, brutal and bloody slog through the last unmapped section of Africa. Come hear a tale of suffering, betrayal, murder, slavery, cannibalism and triumph in "Darkest Africa."

  • Vincent Szilagyi is a Colorado based political consultant and has been a board member of the Rocky Mountain Map Society for a decade. His area of expertise is the exploration and mapping of Africa, as well as maps of the American West. He lives in Centennial, Colorado with his wife, two children, and more maps than he has wall space for.
